A 30 foot setback would cause problems with the neighbor's snow removal. His snow would have to be piled up against his house or against our garage because of his long driveway. With a 15 foot setback he could throw his snow on our lawn as he does presently. Thayou for considering my request. • • • DATE: July 27, 1988 TO Planning Commission FROr Paul R. Blaisdell SUBJECT Request by George Ness for Garage Setback at 1321 West Olive Street I am a neighbor of George Ness and am writing to ask that you approfe his request for a 15 foot setback for his new garage. The required 30 foot setback would cause me problems with removing snow from my driveway. My driveway runs about 50 feet along side my house. The only place I can throw snow is on the Ness' lawn which they permit me to do. A 15 foot setback would permit me to continue to throw snow on their lawn. The 30 foot setback would not give me any place to throw my snow. A 30 foot setback would also cause the garage to obstruct our view out of the main viewing window on the north side of my house. A 15 foot setback would permit us to continue to watch each other's house for safety and protection purposes. Please give fir. Ness' request your deepest consideration. Thank you. Paul R.
